I'm seeing reports now that this is basically just a way to get Sanchez cap number down and spread it across 5 years instead of 2. They fully guaranteed the next 2 years to make up for the Manning rumor, but it does two things:

1) makes him cuttable after 2 years (which he basically was already)
2) keeps him around if he progresses at a cheap rate.

This extension reminds me of that incident. Jets are really putting all of their eggs into one basket here. It's nice to show a lot of faith in their guy, but at the same time there is going to be a huge amount of pressure on the organization now.

They can cut him after two years with limited financial penalty if he keeps failing.

I swear to god I thought I was still drunk when I read this title. I should be happy but at the same time I'm just offended at how stupid this is. I remember when Jets fans two seasons ago argued with me that I just hated Sanchez because I was a Pats fan. Good times. Anyway, enjoy Jets fans. Love, a Pats fan.

5 yard check downs to the rb ftw!

Basically the Jets have fully guaranteed $20 mil. over the next two seasons, thus making him very cuttable after those two years, Should they decide to bring him back it'll be at a affordable rate.

Thanks but I would like to see a full breakdown of the numbers. Mcnabb's initial contract said 40 milllion guaranteed and everyone flipped. In reality it was just 3.5 million and very easy to cut after one year. 20 million guaranteed might be only guaranteed for injury only. Its almost impossible to accurately understand contracts these days especially QB ones.

Hopefully Diab was just referring to him being an ugly QB, cause I'd take him, even after his prime, over Sanchez. But then again, he sneezes and gets hurt, so...

I remember him being on his last legs in Tampa Bay, and he still had that annoying as hell ability to scramble around to avoid the pass-rush. The Titans had Albert Haynesworth and Kyle Vanden Bosch and still couldn't get him. I remember watching that and being frustrated out of my mind.
